Our executive team is made up of 25 McGill undergraduate students from diverse backgrounds and academic disciplines, united by a shared passion for improving economics education. While we collaborate closely on a wide range of initiatives, our work is organized into four specialized teams: Advocacy, Events, External and Podcast, each driving impactful projects within the broader mission of Expanding Economics. We promote critical thinking and a pluralism of perspectives in McGill University’s economics programs. In order to educate a generation of creative and critical leaders, we need an economics curriculum that is more closely related to society’s 21st century issues. We believe the best way to do this is by diversifying the lenses through which we study the economy, sidelining insight from sociology, political science and ecology needlessly restricts our perspective to be full of blindspots and shortcomings in relation to the complex social reality we all inhabit. In order to revive economics to its position as an insightful social science that encourages rich academic debate, we believe it is necessary to approach economics from more than just one point of view.
